Product Description

New Balance, is dedicated to helping athletes achieve their goals. It's been their mission for more than a century. It's why they don't spend money on celebrity endorsements. They spend it on research and development. It's why they don't design products to fit an image. They design them to fit. New Balance is driven to make the finest shoes for the same reason athletes lace them up: to achieve the very best.

The New Balance 577 is a durable and cushioned toning shoe designed for the moderate-paced walker.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

The New Balance 577 are a great pair of shoes. I am wearing them daily due to 3 foot surgeries in the last couple of years. They have a nice wide toe box which make them very easy and compfortable for me to wear,

I weigh about 240, so I go through shoes pretty quickly. Old or bad shoes make me tire out too quickly, and can actually ruin my day. With shoes I make an extra effort to find the best balance between cost, comfort and durability. I prefer certain Nike models, because they fit well, feel good, and last for several months with every day use, but they cost more. Most of the New Balance shoes that I have bought in the past felt as good as the Monarchs, and they cost less, but they don't last as long. Still, the price difference was enough to justify buying New Balance and getting a new pair a little more often. But this pair of New Balance started feeling like older shoes in just a week or so. They weren't even broken in well. I fear that the manufacturer has already started riding on their good name and cutting quality (but I don't know that for a fact). It's not a bad shoe, and for people who aren't overweight or who might only wear then every now and then it would probably be fine. But it's not a good every day shoe for me.

I have bought the New Balance 812 which is the top of the line in walking shoes. I figured I'd try these. They are half the price and pretty good. Very similar. Not quite as comfortable as the 812'S though.

I would like to remark about the wonderful experience I have had with the model 577. What an outstanding product. The toe box is wonderful for comfort during sustained walks and just everyday use. I would venture to say it may very well be the most comfortable shoe my feet have ever felt. I can't say how easy walking has become because of the comfort this model provides for me. I hope they keep making it because when this pair goes, I will certainly want a replacement. They are MADE IN BOSTON too which enhances the whole experience.

I have had many pairs of New Balance shoes and many models. This one fits my needs perfectly!Age 76 and averagimg 4 miles daily!

My wife and I walk everyday. These sneekers have been some of the best I've ever owned. I'll probably always look for another pair of New Balance 577's when these wear out. I can't express to you how comfortable they are when walking.

Hope New Balance keeps making this model. Well made and extremely comfortable.

Upper separated from lower within six months of occasional, casual usage. Not covered under amazon return, guess I will try and contact the manufacturer.

Update: It appears that CS may be the companies shining star. They are crediting the full purchase price. I'll try another pair and report back.

Up to two stars.

Update July 2014.

Back to one star.

I have tried two more pairs since this review and all have failed in about 6 months from purchase. Failure mode is always the same....the uppers delaminate from the sole. NB needs to examine the adhesives and techniques used in the assembly of these shoes. No more for me. Back to Rockport.

Enjoyed the initial feel for the first 2 months. I walk 3 miles 5x a week and they provided the support needed. I am 250 lbs and have had major back surgery so having a good walking shoe is necessary. At month 3 I can feel a slight break down in the support. If the shoe serves my needs for 6 months minimum I would be extremely satisfied. So far so good.

Have worn these shoes at work since receiving. Quality, well-made shoe, very durable and very comfortable. Work four ten-hour shifts with about 75% of my time on my feet on hard surfaces. Fit and felt like a cushioned glove on when I first put on and since. Great shoe, especially if you spend a lot of time on your feet.
